Smoky Molasses Rub is a savory/sweet blend that’s great for barbecue, kebabs, smoking, and grilling. It’s got an enticing amount of depth. This blend is also referred to as molasses seasoning or hickory molasses rub.

Dark, sticky, slightly funky molasses is a by-product of sugar production. The liquids in fresh sugar cane are extracted into a “juice” and clarified by heating and mixing with lime. It can go through as many as three refinements, resulting in bittersweet, hyper-concentrated blackstrap molasses. Molasses is an effective ingredient if you want to introduce limited sweetness with the glazing properties of sugar. 

Smoky molasses rub is sought after by: 

• olive oil shops; 
• seasoning companies; 
• independent spice shops; and 
• food and condiment manufacturers
